Bowser's Inside Story is the latest in the series, and it has no problem living up to the high standards set by its predecessors. As the title indicates, Mario's longtime nemesis, Bowser, plays a large role in this adventure. Actually, if we want to be more accurate, Bowser plays a normal-sized role while Mario and Luigi play smaller roles. As the game begins, we see the triumphant return of Fawful, the hilarious and endlessly quotable villain from Superstar Saga, who is set on taking over the Mushroom Kingdom. Fawful tricks Bowser into eating a Vacuum Mushroom, causing the Koopa King to uncontrollably inhale everything in sight. Unbeknownst to Bowser, he even swallows our plumbing heroes, leading to the game's unique twist. Control switches back and forth between Bowser as he attempts to reclaim his castle from Fawful and the shrunken Mario Bros. as they try to find a way out of their enemy's innards. Read More »

Features

Players are in control of two separate storylines. One features Bowser and his efforts to stop an arch-villain from taking over his castle. Meanwhile, inside Bowser, the microbe-sized Mario & Luigi must muscle their way through challenges and keep their nerve if they want to find a way out. They take action to control Bowser from the inside – but without his knowledge

Players can switch between storylines at will. What happens inside Bowser affects what he's doing on the outside. Sometimes Mario & Luigi must solve puzzles and challenges behind the scenes to help Bowser overcome various obstacles and advance the plot

Players must make well-timed button presses to enhance their performance during battles and challenges. In some battles, Bowser grows so large that players must turn their Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi system sideways, blow into the microphone or tap on the touch screen with the stylus to keep up with the action

The game features the same hilarious dialogue that has been the hallmark of the Mario & Luigi series
